Phys.org / The tourism industry is slowly waking up to solo travelers' needs
Solo travel is surging—and an industry still largely built for two is taking note. Google reported in April 2026 that online searches involving "solo travel" hit an all-time high this year, with queries for "women solo travel" ...
Phys.org / Low-cost phone lessons keep children learning during emergency school closures across five countries
The COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns forced people to find ways to get things done remotely. Companies developed systems that made working from home run smoothly. Educators also had to shift to mobile phones and group video calls ...
Phys.org / Spinons may help electrons pair along stripes in some superconductors
Superconductors are materials that carry electricity with zero resistance below specific temperatures. Many of these materials become superconducting at very low temperatures, yet some enter superconducting phases at higher ...
Medical Xpress / Fat cells retain hunger signal after weight loss, potentially driving obesity relapse
Two enduring biological mysteries have remained unsolved for decades: why almost everyone who loses weight gains it back, no matter how they lost it, and why obesity passes from mother to child at rates that diet and environment ...
Phys.org / Healthy checkout policy shows promise for reducing soda sales and increasing healthy snack purchases
In March 2021, Berkeley, Calif., became the first city in the world to ban the display of sugary beverages and snacks in store checkout lanes, where candy, chocolate and soda are commonly placed to encourage impulse buying ...
Medical Xpress / Ketamine reveals shifting brain activity patterns linked to depression improvement in older adults
Researchers at Texas A&M University's Naresh K. Vashisht College of Medicine have identified time-specific patterns of brain activity following ketamine treatment in older adults with treatment-resistant depression.
Phys.org / The surprising place where giant dinosaurs incubated their eggs
Finding a fossilized dinosaur egg is exceptionally rare, but finding a stash of more than 250 shell fragments in the chilly southern reaches of the planet is even more surprising. The discoveries come from southernmost Patagonia ...
Phys.org / A new game demonstrates quantum advantage with provable classical limits
For decades, physicists have worked to prove the strange predictions of quantum mechanics with real experiments. As quantum computers have grown more powerful, researchers have devised increasingly sophisticated ways to test ...
Phys.org / Dogs and cats carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria also found in people, study finds
Dogs and cats may carry strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, a potentially serious bacterium that can cause infections and is also found in humans, according to new research from Bournemouth University published in the journal ...
Medical Xpress / Wound-healing peptides curb bacterial colonization in cystic fibrosis airway models
Cystic fibrosis, one of the most common genetic diseases in Switzerland, promotes chronic bacterial infections by impairing the protective barrier of the airways. Scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...
Medical Xpress / How music helps the stressed brain bounce back
You've had a tough day and want nothing more than to flop on the sofa and listen to some soothing music. After a few minutes, you feel peaceful and calm. Anecdotally, music has long been known to relieve stress, but the scientific ...
Phys.org / How one RNA nucleotide switch activates fluorescent dyes
RhoBAST is a tiny RNA molecule that activates fluorescent dyes, enabling researchers to track RNA molecules in living cells with super-resolution. An international collaboration, which includes Ronald Micura and his team ...
